STR.16:4.4 - Build the joint resource account and repair the whole

For each candidate arrangement, start from the same current configuration and horizon. Place current commitments, protected reserve, development work and continuing obligations in the same account. MA.1–2 supply the resource-demand and capacity meanings; OCE.11 supplies coexistence around organization change; STR.14 supplies reconciliation across simultaneous strategic work. Use an adequate supplied account directly.

Count each performed or proposed supplying effort once. Then add every actual application effort. If the same person appears as researcher, methodologist and mentor, reconcile those demands against that person’s availability rather than giving each role a new pool of hours. Pool resources only when their relevant capabilities and availability make them interchangeable for this use. AI compute, AI-engineer time, researcher time and mentor time do not cancel one another merely because they have prices.

Begin at the coarsest time window that can expose a decisive conflict. Refine to a week, shift or booked session when timing could defeat the combination. Include preparation, learning, supervision, integration, feedback, failures, recovery and the work of constructing and maintaining the coordination itself where they are needed. A feasible total can conceal an impossible first week.

Keep three accounts distinct where the decision uses them:

• the work and scarce capacity consumed;
• the payments required, with their actual dates and funding conditions;
• any assigned share used for reporting or charging.

MA.3 supplies a needed allocation convention. A research branch’s assigned share is not necessarily a payment avoided by cancelling it. Released staff time does not become cash unless a real supply or payment changes. MA.8 supplies the time-related account when a product creates later service obligations; expected future revenue is not present funding.

Repair a conflict by changing the complete obtaining arrangement. Possible moves include reducing a result’s scope, moving a genuinely movable contribution, obtaining a qualified substitute, changing which work is shared, or deferring an independent branch. Preserve the receiver’s acceptance condition when claiming the same result. A smaller complete research question or service contribution can be useful; removing its essential criticism or exception response merely creates an incomplete fragment.

Recompute every receiving use affected by a changed shared contribution. If research does not supply the affected product input, a product delay need not stop the research. If both depend on the same scarce scientist, resource reallocation may still change both schedules. Keep those two reasons distinct.

Finding that no candidate is feasible is a legitimate result. Return the exact conflicting resource, time or authority condition and the smallest decision that could change it. Do not invent overtime, voluntary participation, funding or a future discovery to make the rows add up.
